Employee of the Quarter Award presented to Fallis
Monna Fallis (far left, middle) is named the
second Employee of the Quarter 2012 and was
presented a certificate by Ricky Adams, assistant
commissioner, and Cindy Hughes, director of
Budget. Fallis is surrounded by fellow
employees (above) including Hughes (left), Linda
Calderon, Rae Dean Johnson, Fallis, Tran
Nguyen and Steve Tucker.
Monna Fallis, accounts
payable supervisor, was the second
Dept. of Public Safety employee to
receive the Employee of the Quarter
Award. This distinction was presented to her in
an informal ceremony when she was surprised
with a visit by her division director and the
assistant commissioner.
The program was created in 2012 by
members of the current administration in the
wake of the agency’s 75th anniversary. The
award is to be presented to a civilian employee; a
first in the history of the agency. Fallis, a 15-
year veteran of DPS, was nominated through the
submission of a letter that described her
enthusiasm, diligence and work ethic:
“In the months of June through the first
half of September, Monna clearly exceeded duty
requirements by voluntarily assuming additional
duties while devoting extra time to ensure the
completion of an assignment. While one division
employee was on extended leave, several
employees had to take on additional duties.
However, Monna by far took on more than her
share of those. [Her oversight included] all
purchasing card
transactions, ensuring
all transaction codings
and payments were in
place and processed
before the monthly
deadline dates. She
worked tirelessly, many
times staying late, and
never complained. She
worked with all
purchasing card
holders that needed
assistance or answers
to their questions while
